Options

The Options dialog window allows you to set the preferences of the current user for working with StageRace.

The following options can be set:

• Switch the following functions on and off:
  • Suppress hardware key check on startup
    Normally StageRace would inform you on startup about a missing hardware key, giving you the chance to supply a key before the software falls back into evaluation mode. This can be suppressed through this option.
  • Show "Confirm classification file import" dialog to wait for updated classifications
    Through this option you can have StageRace display a dialog as extra step between choosing a file to import from and getting the import preview dialog. This dialog helps you waiting for the newest version of the file that you want to import.
  • Print background colors and images
    This option is copied from the advanced internet options in the Control Panel.
  • Indicate missing language strings on publications ('?')
    When StageRace fails to look up certain strings in the multilingual database, through this option an indication for the missing strings can be printed on publications.
    
  • Use Ctrl for switching "Paste with start nos."
    Normally pressing the Ctrl key on your keyboard while having the competitors view displayed, would toggle Paste with start nos. in the Edit menu. This key-press can be ignored through this option.
  • Use Ins/Del keys for arrivals
    Enables the use of the keys Ins and Del to work in the arrival tab sheets to respectively insert empty positions or declass. a selection.
  • Hide Functions menu for arrival sheets other than stage arrivals
    Hide the Functions menu so that you do not accidentally insert imported data into e.g. sprint or bonus tab sheets as imported data on average goes towards the stage arrival.
  • Protect dialogs against being exited incidentally by hitting Escape
    Will simply ignore the Escape key in all dialogs so that you'll have to explicitly activate the OK or Cancel buttons.
• Choose the location of your work folder.
• Choose the executable file that is to be used as your external publication editor.
• Choose the location where to place exported StageRace files for Omega Scan'O'vision, Lynx FinishLynx, Alge OPTIc, AMB ChronX and Skunkware TT*Ware.
